Alex Castro encourages California to embrace metrics

M Corp CEO Alex Castro (far right) testified today during the State Sen. Subcommittee on California’s Innovation, Technology and Life Sciences Economy, discussing ways to improve the success rate of state IT projects. Castro encouraged the state to embrace a metrics tool to determine how prepared a state agency or department are for taking on an IT project.

The metrics tool, much like a consumer credit score, would evaluate the risk and determine areas that need to be addressed in order to improve success. M Corp has developed a tool ready for the task, and putting it to work with clients.

We want to thank State Sen. Jerry Hill, chairman of the committee, for the opportunity to participate in the hearing.
